[Vision2020] for Doug Farris, right in public

[keely emerinemix]

My off-list correspondent, Heirdoug Farris, rues the fact that I am so 
desperate for "everyone" to like me, liberals and non-Christians especially, 
that I'll go to whatever lengths to defend them and only jump on Farris so I 
can win their favor.

Dang.  I don't think my efforts have worked too well, then -- my two or 
three closest friends are entirely non-political, and  neighborhood 
activists, charter school supporters, and liberal atheists aren't likely to 
flood my mailbox with holiday party invitations anytime soon.  I guess my 
appeasement tactics haven't been nearly as effective as I would have liked.  
On the other hand, I've managed to anger Heirdoug and the various other 
Dougs of the Kirk, and if one's character is known by one's detractors, I 
think I'm on the right track.

But because Heirdoug Farris seems to doubt my Christian commitment, let me 
assure him, in public, that I am a Nicene-creed holding, Biblically 
literate, evangelistically-oriented, Gospel-preaching, non-charismatic, 
volitionally-baptized, thoroughly feminist social justice evangelical who 
holds the Bible to be the Word of God.  Why that apparently has escaped him 
continues to be a mystery, but I think I know why it might really bug him .
